Upper Stomach Pressure

I am about 23 weeks pregnant. When I eat (even if its small meals) I feel a lot of pressure, my stomach feels so tight and full. It seems like I have a lot of gas, I'm always burping or the other. The other day I felt more pressure directly below my chest...almost like in my diaphram. It doesn't hurt really but is uncomfortable. I thought maybe it was the baby pushing up by my ribs, so I pushed down a little, I felt something like a muscle or knot...or maybe it was baby? Anyway anyone else ever feel this? Anyone know what it could be?

Sounds like gas... Once we hit a certain point in the pregnancy we kinda start to run out of room in there, and everything is squished and moved around. So normally where we would feel a gas pocket at would no longer be normal and all that. Maybe ask your Dr what gas meds are safe while pregnant?
